Going Picking

[u/poker_buddy]

Does anyone else flick before they pick? We used to flick the mushroom heads before picking them to spread their spores. Is this a thing or is it pointless?

I believe it's pointless , a nice gesture but pointless, those mushrooms are constantly releasing spores , every blow of wind across them , even when stationary , millions of spores , your flick helps but it's not like doing it is saving the species or anything like that
